Moving (ROWING) Your Boat

It is 2 weeks after the AGM and yet we have another experiment, this time it is not burning those chemicals or getting explosions here and there, nor is it touching those liquids that would turn into crystal,

Well it was a safer and yet interesting experiment to conduct




Here's a video for you to have a rough idea






Basically the theory behind this experiment is quite simple, it revolves around surface tension of the water
Since water has a very high surface tension, putting a soap into the water will reduce the surface tension. So water molecules move from areas of low surface tension to areas of high surface tension hence the boat is pulled towards areas of high surface tension by the water in front of the boat.
Now time for the pictures to do the talking


Introducing the experiment :D

Listening to briefing
(can't wait to try ^_^)

Let's fill it up


 We gonna start



























Funny shapes

We clearly had a lot of fun trying out different shape and sizes!

Do stay tuned for more updates!
